About this Role
- Role Overview
Mercor is collaborating with a leading AI lab on a large-scale AI training initiative focused on improving political analysis, civic reasoning, and policy interpretation in advanced language models. We’re seeking experienced Politics experts to contribute by creating and evaluating politics-related prompts and responses.
This is a multilingual opportunity. We are specifically seeking experts who are fluent and deeply engaged in one or more of the following languages:
Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, Russian, German, Arabic, Thai, Tamil, or Hindi.
Importantly, we are not looking for translation ability alone. Candidates must have sustained engagement with political discourse within their linguistic and cultural context — including familiarity with local political systems, party structures, electoral processes, public policy debates, political history, and media landscapes.
This role is ideal for serious political enthusiasts, policy followers, civic researchers, writers, or dedicated hobbyists who actively participate in political discussions and analysis in their language ecosystem.
- Key Responsibilities
Author realistic politics-related prompts spanning political systems, comparative politics, public policy, elections, governance structures, and political theory
Review and revise AI-generated responses for factual accuracy, contextual nuance, neutrality, and clarity
Write high-quality human-authored “gold” responses for complex political or policy-oriented questions
Create controlled prompt variations that test subtle differences in political context, institutional structure, historical period, or policy framing
Evaluate outputs across different tones (analytical, explanatory, neutral briefing-style) and instruction constraints
Identify model failure cases involving factual inaccuracies, oversimplification, partisan framing, or culturally inconsistent interpretations
- Ideal Qualifications
2+ years of sustained, serious engageme
Requirements
- Must be eligible to work in Remote
- Fluent proficiency in English (Written & Verbal)
- Reliable high-speed internet connection
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience
- Demonstrated expertise in Writing
Eligible Languages
Fluent proficiency in one or more of: Arabic, Chinese, German, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Tamil, or Thai

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this for freelancers or full-time employees?
Both. Mercor tries to match you with clients who want long-term contractors. Unlike other platforms where you log in and grab small tasks, Mercor matches you with one company for a steady role (e.g., 'Python Tutor for 3 months').
I'm not comfortable on camera. Can I still apply?
No. The application requires a video interview with an AI avatar. The AI asks you questions about your resume, and the video is shared with potential clients to prove your communication skills.
Does it cost money to join?
No. You should never pay to join these platforms. Mercor makes money by charging the client a fee on top of your hourly rate.
What does the work actually look like?
It is practical, hands-on data work. You might be recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. The tasks are designed to be short and distinct—typically 5-60 minutes per task.
How flexible is the schedule?
Extremely. This is true "log in and work" flexibility. You can usually work for 20 minutes or 4 hours depending on your availability. There are rarely minimum hour requirements, making it ideal for side income.
Is there an interview?
Usually, no. Hiring for these roles is almost entirely based on passing an automated assessment or "qualification" task. If you pass the test, you get access to the work.
How soon will I start?
Important: Mercor is a talent marketplace, not a task queue. Applying puts you in a pool of candidates. You will only start working when a specific client (like a major AI lab) selects your profile. This matching process can take weeks.
